Yehova Mulungu sanakayikire zotsatira za nkhani imeneyi moti anthu atangomupandukira m’munda wa Edene, iye ananeneratu zimene zidzachitike.​—Gen. 3:15.

Iye anawononga mizinda ya Sodomu ndi Gomora komanso Farao ndi asilikali ake. Nayenso Sisera ndi asilikali ake komanso Sanakeribu ndi asilikali a Asuri sanathe kulimbana ndi Wam’mwambamwamba. (Gen. 7:1, 23; 19:24, 25; Eks. 14:30, 31; Ower. 4:15, 16; 2 Maf. 19:35, 36) Choncho n’zosakayikitsa kuti Yehova Mulungu sadzalekerera mpaka kalekale anthu amene salemekeza dzina lake ndiponso amene amachitira nkhanza Mboni zake.

N’zotheka Kutumikira Mulungu ndi Mtima Wosagawanika

16. Tikudziwa bwanji kuti n’zotheka kutumikira Mulungu ndi mtima wosagawanika?

¹⁶ Anthufe tikhoza kusonyeza kuti tili kumbali ya ulamuliro wa Yehova ndiponso kumutumikira ndi mtima wosagawanika. Tikutero chifukwa chakuti mtumwi Paulo analemba kuti: “Palibe mayesero amene mwakumana nawo osiyana ndi amene amagwera anthu ena. Koma Mulungu ndi wokhulupirika ndipo sadzalola kuti muyesedwe kufika pamene simungapirire, koma pamene mukukumana ndi mayeserowo iye adzapereka njira yopulumukira kuti muthe kuwapirira.” (1 Akor. 10:13) Kodi mayesero amene Paulo ananena amachokera kuti, nanga Mulungu amapereka bwanji njira yopulumukira?

17-19. (a) Kodi Aisiraeli anagonja ndi mayesero ati? (b) N’chifukwa chiyani tinganene kuti n’zotheka kutumikirabe Yehova ndi mtima wosagawanika?

¹⁷ Zimene zinachitikira Aisiraeli m’chipululu zimasonyeza kuti anthufe ‘timayesedwa’ kuti tisamvere malamulo a Mulungu ndi zinthu zimene timakumana nazo pa moyo wathu. (Werengani 1 Akorinto 10:6-10.) Aisiraeli akanatha kupewa mayesero, koma ankalakalaka “zinthu zoipa” pamene Yehova anawapatsa mozizwitsa zinziri zomwe akanatha kudya mwezi wathunthu. Ngakhale kuti anthuwo anakhala osadya nyama kwa nthawi yaitali, Mulungu anawapatsa mana okwanira. Koma iwo anagonja pa mayeserowo n’kuyamba kusonkhanitsa mwadyera zinzirizo.​—Num. 11:19, 20, 31-35.

¹⁸ Izi zisanachitike, Mose anapita kuphiri la Sinai kukalandira Chilamulo. Pa nthawiyi, Aisiraeli anayamba kulambira fano la mwana wa ng’ombe limene anapanga ndiponso kusangalala m’njira yosayenera. Iwo sanathe kudziletsa chifukwa chakuti mtsogoleri wawo kunalibe. (Eks. 32:1, 6) Atangotsala pang’ono kulowa m’Dziko Lolonjezedwa, Aisiraeli ambiri anakopedwa ndi akazi a ku Mowabu ndipo anachita nawo chiwerewere. Pa nthawi imeneyi, Aisiraeli masauzande ambiri anaphedwa chifukwa cha machimo awo. (Num. 25:1, 9) Nthawi zina Aisiraeli atayesedwanso anayamba kung’ung’udza komanso kukhala ndi mtima wopanduka. Ndipo nthawi ina iwo anayamba kulankhula motsutsana ndi Mose komanso Mulungu. (Num. 21:5) Aisiraeli anang’ung’udzanso pamene Kora, Datani, Abiramu ndi anzawo ena oipa anaphedwa poganiza kuti kupha anthuwo sichinali chilungamo. Izi zinachititsa kuti Aisiraeli 14,700 aphedwe ndi mliri wochokera kwa Mulungu.​—Num. 16:41, 49.

¹⁹ Mayesero onse amene tatchulawa anali oti Aisiraeli akanatha kuwapewa. Anthuwo anagonja poyesedwa chifukwa chakuti anasiya kukhulupirira Yehova ndipo anamuiwala. Iwo anaiwalanso zoti iye ndi wachikondi ndiponso zochita zake zonse ndi zachilungamo. Mofanana ndi Aisiraeli, mayesero amene timakumana nawo si osiyana ndi amene amagwera anthu ena. Tikamachita khama kuwakana ndiponso kudalira Mulungu kuti atithandize, tikhoza kukhalabe ndi mtima wosagawanika. Sitiyenera kukayikira zimenezi chifukwa chakuti “Mulungu ndi  wokhulupirika” ndipo sadzalola kuti ‘tiyesedwe kufika pamene sitingapirire.’ Yehova sangalole kuti tiyesedwe kufika pamene sitingathe kuchita chifuniro chake.​—Sal. 94:14.

20, 21. Kodi Mulungu amapereka bwanji “njira yopulumukira” tikamayesedwa?

²⁰ Yehova amapereka “njira yopulumukira” mwa kutipatsa mphamvu yotithandiza kuti tikane mayesero. Mwachitsanzo, anthu angatizunze n’cholinga choti tisiye chikhulupiriro chathu. Izi zikachitika tikhoza kuganiza zoti tingololera zofuna zawo kuti tipewe kumenyedwa, kuzunzidwa kapenanso kuphedwa kumene. Koma malinga ndi mawu olimbikitsa amene Paulo anauziridwa kulemba pa 1 Akorinto 10:13, tikudziwa kuti mayesero athu ndi a kanthawi kochepa. Yehova sadzalola kuti mayeserowo apitirire n’kufika poti sitingathe kukhalabe okhulupirika kwa iye. Mulungu angalimbitse chikhulupiriro chathu ndiponso kutipatsa mphamvu kuti tizimutumikirabe ndi mtima wosagawanika.

²¹ Yehova amatithandiza ndi mzimu wake woyera. Mzimuwu umatikumbutsanso mfundo za m’Malemba zimene zingatithandize kuti tisagonje poyesedwa. (Yoh. 14:26) Chifukwa cha zimenezi, sitipusitsidwa n’kuyamba kutsatira njira yolakwika. Mwachitsanzo, tikudziwa bwino nkhani ya ulamuliro wa Yehova ndi ya kukhulupirika kwa anthu. Chifukwa chodziwa bwino zimenezi, anthu ambiri athandizidwa ndi Mulungu kukhalabe okhulupirika mpaka imfa. Sikuti imfa yawo inali njira yopulumukira koma Yehova anawapatsa mphamvu kuti apirire mpaka mapeto ndiponso kuti asagonje. Iye akhoza kuchitanso chimodzimodzi ndi ifeyo. Ndipotu amagwiritsanso ntchito angelo ake okhulupirika amene ‘amatumidwa kukatumikira amene adzalandire chipulumutso monga cholowa chawo.’ (Aheb. 1:14) Nkhani yotsatira isonyeza kuti anthu okhulupirika okha ndi amene adzakhale ndi mwayi wokhala kumbali ya ulamuliro wa Mulungu mpaka muyaya. N’zotheka kukhala m’gulu la anthu amenewa ngati tipitiriza kukhalabe okhulupirika kwa Yehova n’kumamuona kuti ndi Ambuye wathu Wamkulu Koposa.
